(New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) An offlctal look Inn card with Mack border (for the lata quern) reached the World correspond ent. Intimating that by the king' com loand the grand marahal had the honor to Inrtta him to the palace aa the guest of King Leopold at 12:30 p. m. At the foot waa the legend "Ed redlngote deull" (In frock coat, mourning). On alighting at the palace the correspondent was ushered along a vestibule Into the cloak room. Court etiquette requires that you leave your overcoat and umbrella behind you, but retain your bat in your hand. Paaalng another group of attendanta, the corre spondent ascended the main staircase, en tered the ante-room, and. finally, the re ception room, where about twenty others were assembled. ' Hardly had we time to exchange , greet ings when the announcement was made from the opposite end of tho room, "Le Hoi." The large doors opened, as if auto matically, and the king entered with hla niece, the Princess Albert Belgium's fu ture queen on his arm, followed by Prince Albert with the Princess Clementine, the king's only unmarried daughter, and their ladles-ln-waltlng. We ranged ourselves along the side of the room and his majesty advanced, saying a few words to each guest. t Again the doors opened, as if automat ically, and luncheon was announced. The king took his niece upon his arm and Prince Albert escorted Princess Clementine. Maids of honor, with the court officials nd the rest of us, straggled tn. The cor respondent, still toying abstractedly with hla headgear while seeking his seat, dis appeared to depoatt it elsewhere with great rapidity. Flae Array at Plata. Perhapa there are finer collections of gold and silver plat at Windsor, England, or the Winter palace In Russia, than wer set out here, but the effect certainly waa beautiful, with the soft electric light color, ing of the -flowers, fruits and sweetmeats which filled the various centerpieces and table accessories. W wer soon seated and the correspond ent found himself only third from the grand marshal, who sat facing the king. The king bad on his light the Princess Albert and oa his left his daughter. The conversation was carried on between those who sat together and not across the table, which was wideband laden with decorations. Aa the banquet proceeded, ceremony unbent, and there waa an absence of restraint which bespoke the family nature of the gathering. The correspondent Intercepted, quit ac cidentally, a wink between the prlnceaa and her cousin. Course succeeded course. First a silver plat and then a gold plate, then vice versa, then Sevres porcelain of rare work manship, eating Implements of pure metal, crystal glasses and the serving carried to a high art. Neat to those sitting opposite, the Isrkeys commanded the wrtter'a Interest. They had a knack of looking Into vacancy and converting the "windows of the soul" tnte an opaque, non-reflector which would baffle the greatest of hypnotists. They glide noiselessly behind you, anticipate your wants and accept their role of au tomaton with an aplomb which is almoat disconcerting. Mess at tb Baaowct. The menu was inscribed in gold charac ters, a copy to each guest, and read as follows: t Jeven de aa Majeste. Hun d' oeuvre. Petltes Tlmbales Agnes-Sorel. Heieves. Saumnn. 8auce aux Capres.

Whea the courses were disposed of the king said a word to the grand marshal. which waa the signal for the company to rise. We went to the reception room, where coffee waa serve 1. We moved about the room, always in a standing position, the king tn the center conversing, the prlo cesses moving about and holding a little reception on thrlr own account. The World correspondent exchanged lews with his majesty on subjects of current interest. The Princess Albert Joined us and the talk turned on the In fant prince. -A real little prince," said the king. "I am only afraid you would think him an ugly baby," said the prlnceaa. The correspondent protested that he was 'the prettiest baby In Europe. Our talk was ever; others claimed attention. Another quarter of as hour, tb king .saluted the company and withdrew, fol lowed by members of hla family. The rest made their adieux to the grand marahal and descended I be staircase la twos snd threes. CUT DOWN DRINK. ALLOWANCE Leasts Forsaed la Les4sa Pledsjtasj Measas-rs Not to Drlak He twee a Meals.

STORER MAKESGOOD SHOWING Creates m Favorable laipreasloa at First Appearance la Aus trian Court. (Copyright, 18, by Press Publishing Co.) VIENNA, Jan. 24. (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) The World correspondent went to the court ball ex pressly to note the first appesrance of an American ambassador at one of the cere monious court functions eo dreaded by diplomats who are not familiar with them. Never before did the correspondent see a new diplomat carry himself with as much tact and "savolr falre" as did Bellamy Btorer. He had presented his credentials before the new German ambassador, after all the maneuvering to prevent It, and so bad precedence over Count Wedel. As he walked in the wake of the Im perial procession, entering the brilliantly lighted, tapestried hall where the em peror's guests were already assembled, his striking figure was noticed by all present. In height he towered above all the other diplomats and his finely cut features stood out in the crowd of faces that surrounded him. Mrs. Btorer took her turn with the other wives of ambassadors to sit on the central sofa with Archduchess Maria Josepha, and after some minutes' conversation she made her "court bow" before the first lady of the court. She also took her tea at the ; .flV A .1 .. nmm' I.KIa mftaf th. first half lf . archduchess' table after the first halt of the ball was over. Court officials who were present when the new American ambassador was first re ceived by Francis Joseph have told the World correspondent that the emperor said be was delighted to have a representative of the United States who speaks French so well he can enter into conversation with him, and whose looks snd manner show him to be a man of great mind. CONCERNED OVER THE REGENT Shows Slants of Mental Ailment Which Has Afflicted Bavarian Royalty. (Copyright, 1903. by Press Publishing Co.) MUNICH. Bavaria, Jan. 24. (New Tork World Cablegram Special Telegram.) The recent doings at court of Prince Leopold, the aged regent of Bavaria, are causing widespread comment, aa they show a de cided tendency toward the luxury and dis play of the exotic and eccentric which has tended recent Bavarian monarchs In virtual lunatic asylums. The prince regent's Idiosyncrasy Is in the direction of the most elaborate and fantastic table decorations and of dishes In extraordinary forms. At the latest court ball supper there was so dazzling an array of artistic conceits that the guests were with difficulty induced to demolish them. Huge lobsters were set in mayonnaise, fashioned in models of Moorish buildings, every detail being perfect. The meats wer coated with a pearly paste, with the arms and devices of the roysl house, with all their numerous quarteringa done In jelly of absolutely correct heraldic colors. The fish were In Intricate Sevra work designs, copied from works of the most famous mas ters. Fillets of beef were served on dishes faaUoned to resemble the Bavarian- publls edifices. Numerous wild boar heads lavishly ornamented and quarters of deer on vast silver dishes, surrounded by osk leaves and a complete representation of a hunting scene la delicious paste, were served. The Ices were laid flat on silver dishes and srranged to make a portrait of the prince regent. One Klelhofer 4s the chef, who, under the personal supervision of the regent, carries out these ideas, the 'development of which is causing concert..

When Colo nial Secretary Chamberlain went for a health trip to the Mediterranean two years ago in a British cruiser It aroused some criticism, although his exslted position waa held to be some excuse tor the inno vation.

Birkeland's electro-magnetic cannon, the one described in dispatches to the World from Norway a year ago. Is now engaging the attention of German artillerists in an improved Shape. Although l( is only available In forts and too complex to be trusted to an ordinary gunner, the German experts re gard it as the forerunner of a new type of ordnance. The principle of the gun Is the passing of a powerful cur?bt through wire apirala In the bore without heating. It throws a fifty-pound projectile more than three miles with accuracy. ' But Birkeland ssys he can Increase the distance fourfold. This Is the first electric gun the German artillerists have found practicable.

If the physicians would only con operate with us Intelligently in this work it would prove of grrat benefit to the city, but so far those who hsve secured tubes have acted independently and lnstesd ot returning, the tubes to us hsve tried to de velop the cultures themselves and made no report to our department.

NICE FIGHT ON TAPIS More Number Two in Contest Bstwaen Bell and Independent Telephone, f 1 BILL TO LET INDEPENDENTS INTO CITIES Beth Bides Organised and Have Lobby on Hand to fust Their Interest. BELL f E0PLE STRONG IN THE HOUSE t Have the Best of it in the Makeup ot the Committee on Telephone. OPPOSITE CONDITION IN THE SENATE Hall of Doatlaa Makes Move Look lasc to the Call ot a Coaveatloa ,. to Frame New Coast It a tloa for State. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 24. (Special ) The Im pending conflict between the Bell Tele phone company and the independent com panies of the state assumed tangible form today by the simultaneous Introduction in both house and senate of a bill allowing competitive telephone linea in the cltlea of Omaha and Lincoln. In the senate the bill was Introduced by Reynolds of Dodge, in the house by Deles Dernier of Cass. Key nolda is chairman of the senate committee on telegraph, telephone and electric com panies snd a stockholder In sn Independ ent telephone company, and Deles Dernier Is a member of the bouse committee and a strong advocate of the independent Inter ests. a While these measures provide merely for the establishment of toll stations, with all necessary lines, etc., they sre regarded as the opening wedge for further legislation. The next step. It Is believed, will be a bill requesting the right of establishing central exchanges, providing, of course, that the initial measure is favorably acted on. Some Interesting developments are looked for along hls line. It certainly Is evident that the Independent telephone companies of Nebraska have come down to this ses sion of the legislature well organised and determined to break down the barriers which the city councils of Omaha and Lin coln have maintained against them. They have come to meet a mighty foe. however. The Bell people are ss thoroughly organ lied. They sre In 'possession of ths head quarters and hav one of the strongest lob bies In the capital city. They are prepared to give their opponents a stiff fight. Rivalry Shows Is Karly. The bitter rlvslry between these fac tions became evident at the outset ef this session. In the makeup ot the bouse and senate committees each side dealt some fieroe blows and laid the foundation for the subsequent battle, la the senste th Independents gained th chairmanship ot the committee by getting Reynolds Into that position, and It was about an even toss on the remainder of the committee. The house chairmanship, however, went to Burgess ot Lancaster, a atrong Bell man. Moreover, Morsman of Douglas wss placed on tblt committee snd Mr. Morsman's father is general secretary for the Bell company. Even with the other six members evenly divided between the two factions, the 'Bell people would have the upper band of ths committee In the house. , Aa to the sentimeLt in the hous and senate, it would be a decidedly difficult, if not Impossible, matter to determine Juat at this stage. The natural Inference with respect to the house, owing to its populsr caste, would be that the Independent peo ple would tare well there. Here Is a copy of the bills Introduced to day, both of which contain repealing and emergency clauses.: Section 1 That any telephone company ; Inturporj ted and doing business In the ,!U" be and la hereby granted th rlKlit-ol-ay alonir. .over, under and nomas i ti, Btr.eis. ullevs and public grounds of j rnerroiiolitan cities and clilee of the first '? ,h!"

As wss stated In Th Bee thla morning, th joint revenue committee la divided en j the point of whether it shall proceed to aoctor me ins or me state ey drafting an I entirely new and general revenue bill or i simply by tacking on a few amendments ! to ths old law. Ths Istter remedy Is whst ! the railroads and other corporations want. The committee has appointed a subcom mittee, ss wss stated In The Bee, to de cide which course shsll be pursued. Ths committee will report Tuesday and great anxiety Is felt over Its action. Th over-, whelming sentiment ot house sod senate jointly, is for general revenue revision, for it is understood that by this meana th Interests of the masses will be better sub served and those of tha large corporations mors fairly dealt with. , Move for lew Coaatltatloa. Senator Hall of Douglas this morning took the first steps toward Insuring the calling of a constitutional convention to amend ths constitution by the introduc tion of a Joint resolution calling on the people ot th stat to vot at tb next gen eral election on tb proposition of calling this convention. A desdlock on this ques tion exists and this step on ths part ot the Omaha senator Is the result of this situ ation. Many thousands of dollars have been expended by the slats to secure the adoption of amendments recognised as nec essary because of the failure of the, elec- j tors to settle the question at the 'polls. j There is a rumor that certain timid ele- ments will oppose the resolution because of their fear of the part the railroads msy play In endeavoring to kill any such movs. legislative Gossip. For some reason Currle of Dawes prefers not to discuss his bill Introduced in the house the other day aud at once inter preted as a subtle scheme at heading off ths bill to let Omaha's tsx commissioner levy a direct tax on the railroad property within the corporate limits instesd of tak ing the figures returned by the State Board ot Equalization. Mr. Currle waa asked by Omaha reporters for an explanation of the purpose of his bill, which is couched in such subtle language, sod merely said: "I bavs nothing to say about ths bill at all. I ll talk about It when ths ttmo comes, but not now." This attitads on the part of ths author has th effect of confirming ths belief that
